Leading Bayern for the first time in the competition, Kane opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the first half before adding a stunning second shortly after the break. The brace took his career tally in the tournament to 50 goals in just 66 appearances.
Lennart Karl and Luis Díaz also found the net for the hosts, who overwhelmed Atalanta once again after their emphatic first-leg performance in Bergamo. The visitors managed a late consolation through Lazar Samardzic.
Despite holding a comfortable aggregate lead, Bayern showed no signs of complacency. “We wanted to win in the same style as the first leg,” Kane said after the match, praising his team’s intensity throughout.
The German side faced several challenges heading into the match, including injuries to key players and suspensions. However, they maintained control, with goalkeeper Jonas Urbig making crucial saves to preserve their advantage.
Bayern coach Vincent Kompany lauded Kane’s second goal, describing it as “unique” and highlighting the striker’s importance to the team.
With this victory, Bayern Munich now advance to the quarter-finals, where they will face Real Madrid in a highly anticipated clash.
